RMD Roundup: A Few Key Updates About Required Minimum Distributions For Rogers Corporation Employees

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for Rogers Corporation Rogers Corporation typically provides health insurance coverage through its partnership with major insurers such as UnitedHealthcare and other leading healthcare providers. These collaborations allow the company to offer comprehensive health benefits to its employees, ensuring access to necessary medical services. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 As we approach 2026, healthcare costs are anticipated to rise significantly, driven by a combination of factors including expiring federal subsidies and soaring medical expenses. Some states could see ACA marketplace premiums increase by over 60%, resulting in potential out-of-pocket costs for consumers soaring by as much as 75%. With top insurers reporting record revenues and the loss of enhanced premium tax credits, many employees, including those at Rogers Corporation, may face challenging financial implications unless proactive strategies are implemented to mitigate these rising costs.

As we approach the end of 2022, now might be a good time for Rogers Corporation employees to take a closer look at a few developments surrounding required minimum distributions (RMDs) for corporate employees in the United States.

What Are RMDs?

We'd first like to ensure that our Rogers Corporation clients understand the basics— What are RMDs? Once you reach age 72, you are required to take minimum distributions from your traditional IRAs and most employer-sponsored retirement plans. (RMDs are not required from an employer plan if you are still working at the company sponsoring the plan and you do not own more than 5% of the company.) You can always take more than the required amount if you choose.

The portion of an RMD representing earnings and tax-deductible contributions is taxed as ordinary income, unless the RMD is a qualified distribution from a Roth account. We'd like our clients from Rogers Corporation to note that failing to take the full amount of an RMD could result in a penalty tax of 50% of the difference.

Generally, RMDs must be taken by December 31 each year. You can delay your first RMD until April 1 following the year in which you reach RMD age; however, it's important that these Rogers Corporation employees be aware that you will then need to take two RMDs in one year — the first by April 1 and the second by December 31. (If you reached age 73 in the first half of 2022, different rules apply; see below.)

You may want to weigh the decision to delay your first RMD carefully. Taking two distributions in one year might bump you into a higher income tax bracket for that year.
